Empathic Evolution

If you identify as an empath, then you understand yourself as a highly sensitive individual who takes in the thoughts, feelings, and sensations of the world around them, often processing these as if they were your own. As an empath, you may be looking for guidance on how best to protect one’s energies, by setting boundaries, releasing burdens, and cultivating joy.

In her latest release, “Empathic Evolution,” healer and mentor Jennifer Elizabeth Moore offers guidance and support for empaths navigating their sensitivities. Moore advises empaths to engage in grounding practices, stay connected to their bodies, and embrace creativity and joy to process emotions. ​Trusting in the divine and allowing oneself to relax are highlighted as essential for protection and safety. Moore shares helpful strategies for navigating emotional healing and warns against spiritual bypassing. Through actionable practices such as breathwork, meditation, acts of kindness, among others, empaths and spiritual seekers can embrace their gifts for healing, fostering community, and divine guidance.

Moore’s advice resonated deeply for me on my path to deepen my understanding of healing from ancestral trauma. What was most powerful about Moore’s message was how empaths can nurture their abilities and inclination for helping and caring for others, while also staying grounded in safety and connection. As a student of Buddhism who subscribes to the dharma of suffering, I appreciated Moore’s discussion about spiritual bypassing. She notes that spiritual bypassing is the practice of seeking bliss by “tuning out all awareness of the suffering, violence, and abuse of power.” It allows individuals to stay in a "happy bubble" and ignore the misery around them. ​Moore criticizes spiritual bypassing for not contributing to true spiritual evolution.

“Empathic Evolution” encourages self-acceptance, recognizing one's worthiness, and practicing generosity and collaboration to foster abundance. Reflecting her life’s work in supporting sensitive women, Moore writes in a reflective and supportive tone. Although she dispenses advice, her tone is consistently calming, comforting, and encouraging. Overall, the book serves as a tool for empaths to achieve emotional and spiritual wellness.
